Chapter 240 Could it be that my eldest sister didn’t die at all?

No, it shouldn't be. How could the eldest sister come to Wei? The news he got that year was that the Grand Tutor and the eldest sister were killed by the people of Prince Yao Jinglu.

The bodies of the Grand Tutor and the eldest sister were transported back to the capital of Dongchen State and were exposed to the sun for several days before being buried. Even though he did not see it with his own eyes, he sent people to inquire about it after returning to the capital.

It is indeed true. In the secret room of his house in the capital of Dongchen Kingdom, there is the spirit tablet of his eldest sister.

Why did Dr. Du ask him about the parrot Tuotuo? Was she testing him? Or was she doubting him? Did she know his hidden identity?

As a miracle doctor, she must have dealt with people from all over the world. Before you figure out who she is, it's best not to act rashly.

He has endured humiliation for so many years and must not fail at the last moment.

"What parrot? What Tuotuo? Why should I remember?"

The surprise in Yao Er's eyes confused Du Wanwan. She felt that she might have made a wrong judgment and this man was not her uncle.

Looking at his confused expression, it seems that he really doesn't know Tuotuo.

"Since you don't know, I'm sorry, I can't give you a free bill. The consultation fee is one thousand taels, and the medicine will be charged separately." After Du Wanwan finished speaking, she stood up and left decisively.

Yao Er looked at her back, the turmoil in his heart still surging.

It can be seen that this girl is a very efficient and effective person, but since the matter is of great importance, she really dare not admit it casually.

What if there are spies from Dongchen? What if they find out his identity and want to kill him? Isn't it very dangerous to be alone and without help in the territory of Wei?

But, what if Dr. Du was not testing him with ulterior motives, but wanted to know something else?

Could it be that she had some news about her elder sister? Was her elder sister not dead? Was she alive and well? In Wei? In Liangjun City?

The inner entanglement and speculation made Yao Er feel worried when he stepped out of the examination room, but he did not show it on his face. He has been introverted since he was a child. This is the art of being an emperor taught by his mentor.

He cannot show his emotions at will and must learn to restrain them. Otherwise, it will be easy for the ministers to figure out his preferences, play power games, and blind his eyes and his heart.

Pretending to be calm, he leisurely walked out of the People's Clinic and returned to the inn with the housekeeper. Yao Er could no longer remain calm and kept pacing in the room of the inn.

Of course he remembered the parrot Tuotuo, which he gave to his elder sister when he was four years old. Later, Tuotuo hated him for being ruthless and kept scolding him for being heartless. In the end, he refused to eat or drink and starved himself to death.

He was very sad at that time and cried for a long time. Instead of comforting him, his mentor said that Tuotuo deserved to die.

"Your Highness! Tuotuo is just a stupid bird. Is it worth it for you to cry for it?"

He was still young at that time, and he asked his mentor: "Why is it not worth it? Tuotuo is a very loyal bird. In order not to betray me, it starved itself to death."

The mentor smiled and shook his head, "No, you are wrong. Tuotuo is too stupid. If it really wanted to be loyal to you, it should not have starved to death, but should have found a way to survive and sneak back. Those who choose to repay their gratitude with death are all fools.

Unless you have no other choice, you will resort to this last resort. Remember, no matter when, where or under what circumstances, protecting yourself is the best policy. "

He always remembered his mentor's words and tried to protect himself, in order to make a comeback, avenge his parents and restore order. Unfortunately, his mentor had no choice but to die in order to save him.

The same thing went for the Grand Tutor. In order to rescue his eldest sister, he fled with her, but was eventually killed and his body was exposed to the sun.

He had always thought that his elder sister was dead, but he didn't expect that when he came to Liangjun City, someone actually mentioned Tuotuo to him, the parrot that was worthless in the eyes of his mentor.

After Tuotuo died, he used the most precious gold box as a coffin and buried it under the plum tree in the imperial garden, which was its favorite place to go when it was alive.

Decades have passed. Is the plum tree in the imperial garden still there? Is the golden box still there? Is Tuotuo still there?

"Master! What's wrong with you?"

The butler was a secret guard that he had cultivated himself. It was his father's people who helped him cultivate him. The butler knew everything about him. But what happened today was too unbelievable, so he told the butler everything.

The housekeeper frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death: "Master! Is this the reason why Zhang Deren brought us to the Wei Dynasty?"

Yao Er stopped and sat on a chair, thinking carefully: "Zhang Deren is a bit weird. He led us to Dawei step by step and took me to the People's Hospital.

However, he doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. If he did, we would have noticed it long ago. But I don't understand, who is instructing him to do this? Why is he doing this?

Even if he knew my identity, if he wanted to harm me, shouldn't he report to Dongchen Palace? Why did he lead us here?"

The housekeeper was confused by Yao Er's analysis, and he had no idea what kind of person Zhang Deren was.

"He has no grudge against us. He led us here. He must have been instructed by someone. Could it be Doctor Du from the People's Hospital?"

"Nine out of ten." Yao Er carefully recalled every detail of Du Wanwan's treatment of him, but he didn't find any flaws. He couldn't help but sigh, "Don't think that Doctor Du is a girl, her skills and scheming are no less than those of men.

I don't know why she wanted to test me, but I'm sure it has something to do with my elder sister. Could it be that she was asked by someone else? Could it be that my elder sister didn't die at all? "

As soon as he said this, Yao Er jumped up from his chair in shock and began to walk around the room again. He felt that he had guessed the truth, that his eldest sister must not be dead, and he asked her to ask him.

But if the eldest sister really didn't die, then whose body was brought back that year? Did someone deliberately use a trick to let the eldest sister escape?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. If his elder sister was really alive, she would be his only relative in the world. But was she really alive? He couldn't believe it.

"The master's guess is very likely to be true."

The housekeeper also thought this matter was very strange. The only explanation was that Doctor Du was helping the eldest princess find her relatives. Since only the eldest princess knew about the parrot Tuotuo, it must be her.

Even if it wasn't her, it was most likely someone around her, otherwise they wouldn't say such a private thing.

"You think so, too?"

Yao Er turned his head and looked at the housekeeper with a smile in his eyes. At this moment, he even forgot to restrain his emotions because the news was too exciting.

The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, I think so too. As long as we go to the People's Hospital and ask Doctor Du tomorrow, everything will be clear."

"No, no, no." Yao Er stopped and sat back in his chair, calming down. "It's not urgent. I still have to go for acupuncture in three days. It won't be too late to ask then.

The People's Clinic is right there, so I won't run away for now. If Zhang Deren comes to ask me to see Mr. Du tomorrow, tell him that my leg hurts and I can't go for now. We have to get things clear before we go find Mr. Du."
